I think of this as a feature, the speaker can handle > 100% volume, I frequently use it. Who decides what 100% output is anyway?

[ParadoxLeon]

yeah but I frequently ruin my underwear by accidentally hitting that wheel :D

Do you have any idea on how to set a limit?

I will try to replicate it on my system.

#!/bin/sh
current=$(pactl -- get-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ | awk -F'/' '{print $2}' | sed 's/[^0-9]*//g')
[ $current -lt 95 ] && pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5% || pactl set-sink-volume 0 100%

This works on my system. Edited from: https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/ahwb57/pulseaudio_exceeding_100_volume_with_keybindings/

Works on mine using the function keys, and I actually use it as a feature since most of my headphones can handle or sometimes need a higher volume.

[ParadoxLeon]

I just disabled the wheel with a udev rule.

Hi, You can use wpctl with these commands:

bindel = , XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume -l 1.5 @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ bindel = , XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%-

This limits the volume to 150%. Set the value to 1 to limit it to 100%, or 2 for 200%, etc.
